My wife and I enjoyed the privilege of a review stay at Areca Hotel on 24-26 November, 2017. The hotel is housed in a row of beautifully restored townhouses along Khoo Sian Ewe Road, in the heart of George Town, Penang. During our stay, we were given the very spacious Heritage Room, which is on the ground floor. The room measures 40 square meters and has a queen-size bed. It is comfortably furnished with period furniture, but all the modern amenities are available, from multi-channel television to fast wifi.
Our daily breakfast was taken at the hotel's inhouse Areca Cafe. Although the hotel is of modest size, the breakfast selection was quite good. After breakfast, I was taken on a hotel tour, so that I can have a chance to review all its facilities. I was surprised that the hotel has its own meeting rooms to cater to executive meetings and off-site functions.

Size of rooms and length of swimming pools can be measured, but hospitality can only be experienced. Understanding this, the numerous hotels in Penang have extended to me the opportunity to experience their hospitality so that I can showcase what they offer to guests on this website.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
